A/N: Wow, I've been here for 3 years and I only have 13 stories. What a pity. STORY TIME!
Courtney blew out her nose and wiped her eyes clean of the tears. There wasn't a need to cry anymore… what she feared the most had already happened. Duncan had kissed Gwen and now they were dating. There was nothing she could do about it. It seemed like she had tried so hard to prevent it (with the contracts and all) but it happened anyway.
And now, she was going to speak her mind with the little dignity she had left.
Courtney bust open the door, ready to find Gwen and Duncan. She was going to tell them off and that would be the end of this mess.
"I wonder how long we'll be staying in this game," Gwen wondered aloud to Duncan in the first class section of the plane. "Everyone on Team Amazon wants me gone.
Duncan rolled his eyes at the mention of Team Amazon.
"Don't worry pasty," Duncan reassured, massaging her shoulders. "I'm sure all of this will wear off by tomorrow.
But Duncan was sure Courtney would still be furious at them for the rest of the competition.
"I hope so," Gwen sighed.
Gwen cringed at the sight of Courtney coming into first class. Her hair was a mess and her eyes were as puffy as ever. Gwen had never seen Courtney like this before. It shocked her that someone as strong as Courtney could even cry.
"What do you want?" Duncan asked.
"I'm going to speak my mind and you two are going to listen," Courtney asserted.
"Fine," Duncan smirked. "We're listening…"
Courtney took a deep breath. "You know, I should've expected this type of foolishness and immaturity from Duncan," Courtney started. "But you, Gwen, I expected more from you."
Duncan rolled his eyes and Gwen shifted in her seat uncomfortably.
"I expected you to be the mature one out of all three of us," Courtney scoffed. "You. That girl who knows how it feels like to be cheated on because you experienced it. You were so heartbroken when you thought Trent cheated on you… I thought you, that girl who I had come to like… the only person in the whole entire game that I was finally beginning to consider a friend…would be the last one to betray me. I thought you would at least apologize if Duncan wasn't going to…"
Gwen sighed. Did Courtney really expect this much from her?
"But what do you do?" Courtney laughed spitefully. "You hide it from me and I had to find out from Tyler… of all people in the game! And now you're trying to vote me off for whatever reason. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that, I really did expect more from you Gwen. But I guess I shouldn't give everyone the benefit of the doubt."
"Are you done yet?" Duncan asked.
"And you," Courtney turned to Duncan, smirking. "You can have her. But I would've appreciated it if you could've told me how you felt about Gwen before getting with her. But I guess I should've expected this from such an asshole like you."
Duncan rolled his eyes at her yet again and Courtney glared at him.
"I wish you two the best," Courtney sighed.
She held her head up high and walked away with the little dignity she had left.
